Depo

Every family member that told me to go on depo deserves a big fuck you honestly, I’ve felt awful for weeks, every thing I’ve felt made me feel like I was pregnant just without the baby and it only seems to get worse My boobs have been hurting so bad, I’ve been spotting for almost almost 2 months now, and I’ve been nauseous for weeks, not to mention I’ve been so exhausted that it’s hard to care for my son, I went off depo this month and apparently I can be feeling like this for months, and I’m just so over it already especially because I never wanted to get on birth control in the first place but was pushed into it and am still being told I need to go back on it like no tf I don’t

I’m so sorry you experienced that! The depo shot was horrible for me in the end. I didn’t have terrible immediate side effects except for some weight gain but I’m completely convinced it caused my fertility issues. If I think about it too long I get so mad at all the doctors (at least 4 different ones from different practices- we moved a lot) who convinced me it was ok to stay on for as long as I did. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy. Not when there’s so many alternatives out there

@Samantha it’s so terrible because my whole female family told me that one was the best but I got every single side effect, and when looking up the shot I found out all this information that my doctor did not tell me, thankfully I was only on it for 3 months, I was fine on it for 2 months but the last month I started feeling bad so I decided not to get another shot and since then I’ve only felt worse, I expected up to a couple months but now I’m hearing it can take months for it to completely leave my body it’s just so frustrating

I’m on implanon and I’ve been feeling the same way for the last month 😩

Depo made me so depressed and I actually ended up getting on antidepressants. They didn’t help either. Finally I decided to stop birth control and the antidepressants. It took me a little over a year to start feeling like myself again. I didn’t get my period until 8 months after I stopped.

Depo was good to me before pregnancy I’m on my second dose now after pregnancy. But nexplanon was the one that really messed me up so it definitely depends on your body! ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Listen to your body! I took out my iud in 2020 because it was messing me up. I was having the worst cramps. Even during college birth control made me feel depressed. I haven’t been back on birth control and won’t. I’ll do holistic meds and pull out before I do.

I thought they recalled the deck shot there’s a huge thing going on about recieveing compensation for something bad happening

Depo is a nightmare, happy you’re coming off it. Sorry about your experience

There's currently a class action lawsuit being put together because the depo shot is causing brain tumors https://www.depoproverameningiomalawsuit.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=21757894707&utm_content=170910349849&utm_term=depo%20provera%20brain%20tumor%20lawsuit&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmt24BhDPARIsAJFYKk3qgXSV5wmhbMXLQYaWZ4Cy7lnrvENFNt5P-B-FfYhCLpvMfFCFXAYaAu29EALw_wcB
